Introducing Mantis IOTA 3rd Generation Eyepiece-less Stereo Microscope

Patented ergonomic design delivers an enhanced 3D view with amazing depth perception and the ability to look around the subject. Unrivalled user comfort reduces operator fatigue, leading to an increase in quality and productivity.

The Mantis stereo microscope is trusted by thousands of customers globally to deliver excellent high quality images for a wide range of applications, in an easy to use ergonomic system. Now in the third generation design Mantis is available in three configurations called IOTA, ERGO and PIXO, each highly configurable to user needs. 

Mantis IOTA

  • High quality optical stereo image
  • Ergonomic working position
  • Long working distance
  • Magnification 3x - 8x
  • Interchangeable lens

Unique large high quality optical stereo image

See the finest detail in a large, high resolution, high contrast optical stereo image. Mantis delivers the superior image quality you need to perform your inspection tasks accurately and quickly.

Using Dynamic View Optics Mantis’s large, clear image enables the operator to have a range of head movement whilst viewing the subject, giving them the opportunity to look ‘around’ the subject rather than just straight down on it. 

Ergonomic design for user comfort and productivity

Ergonomically designed Mantis enables relaxed, stress-free viewing and manipulation of your component or sample, improving posture whilst reducing back and neck strain. Additionally, the eyepiece-less design reduces eye activity, and thus eye strain. ‘No touch’ viewing means systems can be operated by multiple colleagues without the risk of cross-contamination.

The eyepiece-less technology of Mantis projects a large, high quality optical stereo image directly into the user’s eyes. This makes the image much more comfortable to view compared with traditional microscopes.

4 different ways to illuminate your subject

Mantis IOTA features two banks of white LEDs which can be set for synchronised or independent operation. Controlling each bank independently gives you the option to add shadow detail, enhancing your 3D understanding of the subject. 

Transmitted light from below is available with the Stabila stand for inspection of transulcent, transparent and perforated subjects.

EPI Illumination is available for inspecting component cavities and internal cylinder surfaces (e.g. thread inspection). The episcopic illuminator is optional (see related accessories below).

Contrast enhanced lighting - for challenging subjects such as plastics, glass, biological samples and other transparent or translucent materials, an optional contrast enhancing base is available  (see related accessories below).
